Finally a movie about the stress of meteorologists trying to convince decision-makers to change their plans based on a weather forecast.

The movie focuses on British meteorologist James Stagg and the pressure he felt leading up to the D-Day invasion.

As someone who was raised in a Hoosier household and attended a few IU football games growing up... this team is surreal. Just incredible.

Caught a meteor with my dash cam yesterday evening in Moore, OK. The Geminid meteor shower peaks in a few days, so hopefully I'll see more. β˜„οΈ

Finally saw one of these stratospheric balloons, specifically Aerostar's HBAL732. Easy to see today with the clear blue skies over Oklahoma.
